Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this lively and vibrant infant school.”
- “Leaders make sure that pupils are at the heart of everything they do so that pupils achieve well and enjoy their time in school.”
- “Pupils talk enthusiastically about their learning.”
To improve
- “Pupils sometimes struggle to recall important knowledge over time.”
- “This is because teachers do not always give pupils the essential vocabulary needed to knowledgeably talk about their learning.”
- “In addition, teachers do not always link new learning with what pupils have learned before.”
